In August 2010, I completed an MA in Humanities (History concentration) at CSUDH. I took the opportunity to do some research in my area of greatest interest, medieval English onomastics.
I am not certain what I will do next, but I would like to continue to research medieval naming practices if possible.
Additional areas of interest are culinary history and the history of baseball, particularly medieval games such as stool ball that are the probable ancestors of the modern game.
I have a website about historic cooking: Resurrected Recipes. Supervisors: James Jeffers
